AWESOME workout today, smashed my bike record, I had it planned in my mind and just wen for it, was so happy afterwards.Was complimented at work by Head Chef for all the hard work I have been putting in.I really enjoyed my shift at work because I achieved a lot and it was recognized.

What about my day could I improve to make things EVEN BETTER?

Spend more time around people who have similar goals to me.Mentally prepare myself for the role of a coach, how will I act, speak, walk now I am considered part of the management team.Continue to study work specs as its improving my confidence in work.Study more towards starting my own business empire, its only a matter of time before MATTPB & PPHELPS take over the health industry!Im going to Acapulco in the morning, will you be ready???

What can I do to make things more enjoyable?

Laugh, because I am doing great, I am doing what others cannot do!!Keep on helping others by supporting them achieve their goals.Have fun because the journey is just as important as the destination.Believe I am the BEST because I am!

NotesFelt great during weights today but after about 5 mins on the bike I felt really sick, everytime I cycled faster my stomach was churning. Not sure if it was because I went to the gym yesterday evening then again this morning, lack of food, well I am not sure. Feel a lot better now after a few meals down me.

Weighed myself today 162.9lbs, last week I was 164lbs, this is after another increment in my calories.Vote Mass Machine Nutrition for Bodybuilding.com's 2012 New Brand of the Year"![url="http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/2012-supplement-awards.html"]Click Here NOW to VOTE and get a 10% Discount.[/url]

Notes:Different bike today so my distance sees a lot lower. To be honest I didn’t feel to well today so my enthusiasm was low during cardio and I got extremely frustrated that I was not doing as well as I normally do.Hoping a good nights sleep will make me feel refreshed and ready for Legs workout in the morning.Vote Mass Machine Nutrition for Bodybuilding.com's 2012 New Brand of the Year"![url="http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/2012-supplement-awards.html"]Click Here NOW to VOTE and get a 10% Discount.[/url]

Notes:Was on track to set a new record on my cardio, I worked it out that if I kept my pace I would get 14.4 which would be AWESOME, so with 5 mins left I push even more to get a better distance which is when I thought something is wrong with the bike, then I realized the seat post was not tight enough on the bike and the height of my saddle was gradually dropping. I couldn’t stop because it would reset the screen so I had to cycle really slowly whilst adjusting the seat, funny now but was gutted at the time. Just goes to show I can beat my distance and it will be done today.

I was officially offered the position of NIGHT COACH in the restaurant I work in, I set a goal last month that I wanted to achieve Coach status by the end of September 2012 and I have smashed that goal. I have gone from never working in a restaurant to being part of the management team in 7 months, in my mind i was already a coach but when they sat me down and offered me the position I was so happy with my achievements.I was told that there had been a meeting of all the kitchen and front of house managers/coaches and when asked who should be nominated to be the new Night Coach everyone at the meeting said my MATTHEW BLANDY!! Nobody else was even mentioned, when other people who were possibilities for the position were asked even they said my name.I don’t write this to impress anyone but they all said that my dedication, consistency and hard work was the reason I was selected. I put that down to my daily disciplines that I live by everyday, ironing my shirt for each shift, being early… etc, every little thing adds up and gets noticed.This means the world to me because a goal which was written on a piece of paper and stuck on my wall I have made into reality, which makes me realise I can achieve anything!To top it off the Manager said he had signed all forms for my nomination/sponsorship program and will give them to me on Monday. Another goal set December 2011 was to work hard enough in the restaurant that I would get sponsored so I can stay in Canada, this is a great feeling because I have given myself and Portia the opportunity to live in an amazing country and one day raise a family in a better environment.I will remember this day for the rest of my life!

What about my day could I improve to make things EVEN BETTER?

Today I am enjoying the rewards for all my hard work, I know there is always a higher level and more to reach for but today I am on cloud 9!!

What can I do to make things more enjoyable?

Keeping on being MATTPB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
